Cartesian Coordinate System
The location of any point in space can be uniquely described by its coordinates (x,y,z)
Similarly the velocity vector of an object can be uniquely described in Cartesian Coordinates
Typically use u to denote a vector in the x-directionv to denote a vector in the y-directionw to denote a vector in the z-direction

Conservation of Masschange in mass = flux in – flux out
ΔxΔyΔz
mass = density × volume
change in mass = flux in
flux in = flux out
1. If diameter of pipe is 10 m2 and the velocity of water through the pipe is 1 m/s, what is the flux in?
2. How fast is volume changing?3. How fast is water rising?

Δzu1ρ1 u2ρ2
Consider flow in x-direction
Water with density ρ1 flows into the box
with velocity u1
Water with density ρ2 flows out of the box
with velocity u2
Volume flux into the box = [ u1 × Δy × Δz ]So mass flux = [ ρ1 × u1 × Δy × Δz ]
Volume flux out of the box = [ u2 × Δy × Δz ]So mass flux = [ ρ2 × u2 × Δy × Δz ]

Eulerian Measurements

In this Eulerian reference frame, density appears to be increasing

In fluid mechanics, measurements made in a
fixed reference frame to the flow are called Eulerian.

Lagrangian Measurements
102810291030103110321033
In fluid mechanics, measurements made in a
reference frame that moves with the fluid are referred to as
Lagrangian.
102810291030103110321033
In this Lagrangian reference frame, density appears to be constant 11
![Page 12: OEAS 604: Introduction to Physical Oceanography Conservation of Mass Chapter 4 – Knauss Chapter 5…](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062911/5a4d1bf97f8b9ab0599eaabd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
In fluid mechanics, the reference frame is crucial to what is observed
In the previous example for the Eulerian reference frame, the scalar quantity in the fixed box is increasing because of advection.
How can this be represented mathematically?
102810291030103110321033
This is referred to as the local rate of change

![Page 13: OEAS 604: Introduction to Physical Oceanography Conservation of Mass Chapter 4 – Knauss Chapter 5…](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062911/5a4d1bf97f8b9ab0599eaabd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
In a fixed or Eulerian reference frame, the local rate of change is influenced by advection in all three directions
In contrast, in a Lagrangian or a reference frame moving with the flow, there are no advective changes.
Local derivative no local sources or sinks
Eulerian Material derivative:
So, the total rate of change in a moving reference frame includes the local rate of change minus the advective contribution.

Previous derivation of continuity gives
Know that the Material derivative is related to the local derivative by:
This results in the continuity equation conservation mass

Conservation of volume
![Page 15: OEAS 604: Introduction to Physical Oceanography Conservation of Mass Chapter 4 – Knauss Chapter 5…](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062911/5a4d1bf97f8b9ab0599eaabd/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The Continuity Equation
One important characteristic of oceanic flows is that, even when density stratification is fundamental to the flow, density variations are still small, only a few
parts per thousand.
ρo ~ 1020 kg/m3
<ρ> ~ 2 kg/m3
ρ' < 2 kg/m3
In most situations, this term is way smaller than … this term

Introduction to Scaling
Scaling is a way to compare the relative importance of terms in an equation.
Estimate the relative importance of changes in density to convergences or divergences in the flow
Assume that changes in density can be estimated as:
The ratio of the density term to the convergence terms becomes:
And convergence can be estimated as:
= 2×10-3

![Page 17: OEAS 604: Introduction to Physical Oceanography Conservation of Mass Chapter 4 – Knauss Chapter 5…](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062911/5a4d1bf97f8b9ab0599eaabd/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Changes in density are negligible compared to convergences or divergences in the flow
17
![Page 18: OEAS 604: Introduction to Physical Oceanography Conservation of Mass Chapter 4 – Knauss Chapter 5…](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062911/5a4d1bf97f8b9ab0599eaabd/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
This is the Boussinesq Approximation
It states that density differences are sufficiently small to be neglected, except where they appear in terms multiplied by g, the acceleration due to gravity.
It represented mathematically, as:
Assumes that the compressibility of seawater can be ignored in many situations.
Applying the Boussinesq Approximation gives the incompressible form of the continuity equation :

![Page 19: OEAS 604: Introduction to Physical Oceanography Conservation of Mass Chapter 4 – Knauss Chapter 5…](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062911/5a4d1bf97f8b9ab0599eaabd/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The Continuity Equation
A divergence in the flow in one direction, must be balanced by a convergence in the flow in another direction.
Consider a convergent flow over a fixed boundary:
No flow through boundary.19
![Page 20: OEAS 604: Introduction to Physical Oceanography Conservation of Mass Chapter 4 – Knauss Chapter 5…](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062911/5a4d1bf97f8b9ab0599eaabd/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Consider the box below Ignore flow in the y-direction:
The Continuity Equation
If there is convergent flow in the x-direction, what happens to the water surface?

![Page 21: OEAS 604: Introduction to Physical Oceanography Conservation of Mass Chapter 4 – Knauss Chapter 5…](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062911/5a4d1bf97f8b9ab0599eaabd/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
z = -h
z = η
z = -h
z = η
Depth Integrated form of Continuity
To first approximation:

![Page 22: OEAS 604: Introduction to Physical Oceanography Conservation of Mass Chapter 4 – Knauss Chapter 5…](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062911/5a4d1bf97f8b9ab0599eaabd/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Wave propagation can be explained in terms of the depth averaged continuity equation:
convergencedivergence divergence
The water at any given point simply oscillates back and forth (no water is transported), but wave form propagates (energy is transmitted)

Upwelling and Downwelling
Upwelling is the upward motion of water caused by surface divergence. This motion brings cold, nutrient rich water towards the surface.
Downwelling is downward motion of water caused by surface convergence. It supplies the deeper ocean with dissolved gases.
